[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 372649, member: 8"] The exact same reason for me to watch AQUAMAN. I know I'm not the target audience for these modern superhero films but that doesn't mean I'm not able to enjoy some "mindless fun". Unfortunately, only one of those two last words applied. I wondered what other tellytalkers had to say about it. Well, it was sort of [I]just there[/I], and from the outset it was supposed to make sense that these two worlds could exist in the same universe. Maybe it would have helped if the film had started with the legendary Underwater World rather than informing the audience about it via the character of....forgot name....played by Nicole Kidman (!!). They are people, not mermaids? I just didn't get it. I had anticipated that and promised myself to not over-think it. Better still, not to think about it at all. I have no problem with American English in American films, in fact, it added a lot of charm to the classic Disney films. What you often see these days is that streaming-films (which are sort of made in no-man's-land) [I][B]always[/B][/I] use OTT posh British accents for characters who live in these fantasy versions of Europa-[B]ish[/B] countries. It sounds nothing like original British films featuring original British actors. It just sounds terribly annoying. Teddibly annoying. Ideally, the Atlantisans would speak with a Greec accent. Although I've never really loved (nor disliked) SUPERMAN, at least Christopher Reeve has a lot of charisma. The actor playing Aquaman has none, and after approx 40 minutes I threw in the towel. Even half-brain-dead I still couldn't enjoy it. The only thing I really liked was the scene with the kids and the sharks. [/QUOTE]
